Cristina Bucsa of Spain rallied to eliminate No. 7 seed Emma Raducanu of Great Britain 5-7, 7-5, 7-5 in a three-hour-plus marathon during the first round of the Singapore Tennis Open on Monday.

Raducanu, the 2021 U.S. Open champ, hit seven aces but also committed seven double faults. Bucsa broke Raducanu's serve three times in the second set and four times in the third, and by match's end she had won exactly one point more than Raducanu (119-118).
